Which is a great way to run into problems.  Even if you need to manually do so, if you're using ssh from pkgsrc I highly suggest removing the base ssh binaries.
I ran into issues like this before (with pkg_add, etc...) and it can lead to unexpected behavior when you inevitably end up running the wrong binary.
